I have zero faith in the medical community anymore, and less faith in any online resources spewing 'medical advice'. My 11yo son is going in for surgery soon, for removal of tonsils and adenoids. I know this is routine procedure nowadays so I am not at all worried, But I am curious, have any of you had this procedure done recently or know someone who has? Especially someone young. I had it done 30 years ago and I was too young to remember anything. I'm sure its much different today. Because of the surgery, he'll be out of school for a week but my hope is he'll be recovered enough in a few days. He's active and involved in sports and want to make sure he can resume his normal lifestyle in 4-5 days, but no idea what to expect in terms of recovery.
Any thoughts based on recent experiences greatly appreciated!
Another thing... although you didn't say, I will assume that he's not been vaxxed for covid unless you say otherwise. With natural immunity something like 27 times better than any jab, my wife and I boost our immune systems with daily intake of vitamins B12, C, D, E, and K; Quercetin; Black Cumin Seed; zinc; and Turmeric... all of these available at grocery stores or COSTCO or Amazon.
Also, since we're both active hikers and weight-lifters, we take collagen supplement for joints and bones. Hope this helps as you look toward the future.
Thank you fren! Yes, we've been loading him up on fruits and veggies in anticipation for the surgery, hoping for a speedy recovery. We got him some of the child vaxxxes years ago (which I now regret), but we made a hard stop around 2015. Not cv vaxxxed.
